I think they should just put out more Bpo's of the stupidly overpriced mods i mean CR2 costs i think 400k to build but sells at 14m since only about 3 players have the Bpo and so can do as they like.
Haven't seen a Cap Recharger II topic for a while. 
Sorry to burst a few conspiracy bubbles but...
1. There are more than 3 Cap Recharger II BPOs out there. I personally know 4 people who have them and have a good idea of another few corps that do. The devs have repeatedly stated that the number of each BPO that is handed out is nowhere near the low levels that is commonly stated. I think there's around 20+ of each BPO. There used to be a sticky on this forum which listed all the corps that you could purchase T2 ships from, the amount of people admitting to having Crow BPOs were around 16.
2. Some smaller corps do have the Cap Recharger II BPOs. They don't advertise the fact, because every wannabe pirate corp would war-dec them and demand the BPO as payment to stop.
3. Some people DID try to lower the price of Cap Recharger IIs. One corp that has the BPO went public on the forums and stated that they would start selling at a lower price. They started selling them on the market at around 7m each. They went to the trouble of seeding markets in a few regions with them. What happened there, does anyone remember???
Some enterprising individuals followed this corp around and bought every single one they put on the market, then relisted them all at 13m+, where they sold just as quickly. So, it's not the greedy T2 manufacturers who are to blame on this one, it's the incredibly high demand that the players generate. The corp in question realised that no matter what they sold the CR IIs at, those same items would be resold at 13m or so. So they reluctantly (honestly!) went back to selling at 13m.
I'm afraid that consumers are to blame for the CR II situation, not the producers.
btw, a little bit of history for you - the cap recharger II wasn't even that good a module initially. It was nowhere near the efficiency of a cap power relay I.
It got a bit of a boost (I think named ones got one too) which made it really worth having.
The Cap Power Relay II BPO, that'll put the profitability of the Cap Recharger II to shame.....
